Posted on September 8, 2011 by Ewan Spence

Look past the Chinese language if you have to, but this interview with Stephen Elop on Sina.com.cn has a nice bundle of bullet points, including: Nokia are bringing expertise in navigation, mapping and entertainment to Windows Phone. They will be “doing things” to help Symbian users move to Windows Phone. Meego is going to be a key element to the Chinese strategy. …and it’s hard for Elop to understand why Google created uncertainty in the Android ecosystem (which Nokia could have joined). Grab a coffee and watch the full video on Sina.

Elop is a mischievous boy. He is on a platform and wants to let it burn! Please help (not him!) and shoot the water on the fire. You will only win if you can drop Elop from the platform. Are you a hero? Now available in the Ovi Store, don’t think I can add much to the description!
